1.What Information We Collect?

We collect personal data when you book a service, make an inquiry, or use our planning tools. This includes:

      Identity details: name, email address, phone number, and physical address.

      Payment information: credit or debit card details for transactions, processed securely through trusted payment gateways.

Through cookies and analytics tools, we collect:

      Tracking information: data about how you interact with ads or features on the site.

2. How We Use Your Information?

We use your information to:

      Provide our services: process bookings and payments, arrange travel, and coordinate with hotels, transportation providers, and other partners.

      Improve your experience: tailor travel plans to your preferences and improve our website and customer service.

      Communicate with you: send confirmations, updates, and reminders, and share promotional materials or newsletters only if you have opted in.

      Meet legal obligations: comply with applicable laws and regulations.

3. How We Protect Your Information?

We take extensive measures to keep your personal data secure:

      Encryption: all sensitive information, including payment details, is encrypted during transmission.

      Controlled access: only authorized staff can access personal information, and only for legitimate purposes.

      Continuous monitoring: we run regular security audits and updates to guard against threats.

4. When We Share Your Information?

We only share your data when it is necessary, and never for sale:

      Trusted service providers: we share data with hotels, transportation providers, and guides only as needed to fulfill your booking. They are required to use it solely for your travel arrangements.

      Legal requirements: we may disclose information if required by court orders, subpoenas, or government authorities.

      Fraud prevention: we may share data to investigate or prevent illegal activity, fraud, or violations of our policies.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and Tracking Tools?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us improve your browsing experience. We use them to understand how you navigate our site and to provide personalized recommendations and ads, including through Google analytics and advertising services. You can disable cookies in your browser settings or through our cookie-consent banner, though some features of the site may not work correctly without them.

6. Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as needed to provide our services and to meet legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. 

7. International Data Transfers?

We operate in Egypt and Oman and work with global payment and analytics providers, so your data may be processed outside your home country. Wherever your data is processed, we take appropriate steps to keep it protected and handled in line with this policy.
